🔍 Key Concepts

• Traditional boat commands used in pulling (rowing) boats • The sequence of commands from "Out oars" to actually rowing and then stopping • Difference between "boat oars," "out oars," and the command that prepares the crew to row

💭 Think About

• Think about what position the oars must be in just before you can start pulling a normal rowing stroke together as a crew. • Which option describes oars that are already in the rowlocks, out over the water, and ready to move, but not actually making way yet? • Which other answers clearly describe either stowing the oars completely or just lifting them, rather than preparing to row?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe stowing oars versus preparing to row. • Check which command would logically come just before a command like "Give way together" or "Pull" in a standard boat drill. • Make sure the option you pick leaves the blades clear of the water and the oars under control and ready to move.
